1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Spontaneous regression of cancer is a rare biological phenomenon and the mechanisms underlying it are poorly understood. There have been few reports of temporal changes in morphology and metabolism associated with spontaneous regression. Here, we report an 80-year-old man who presented with right upper quadrant pain. He was diagnosed with stage IVA lung cancer, but without treatment, rib metastasis disappeared 4 months after the diagnosis. Although mediastinal lymph node metastasis regressed partially it began to grow 10 months after the diagnosis. In this case, complete and partial spontaneous tumor regressions were observed in the patient, allowing for a comparison of morphological and metabolic changes during each occurrence by serial computed tomography (CT) and
